We here at SDHQ have been honored to work with some amazing session musicians, whose ranks include Premik Russell Tubbs. An extraordinary musician and human being, Premik is someone whose work you have definitely heard; the saxophone solo on Whitney Houston's "How Will I Know?" Yep, that was him. He has also worked with a host of other artists in genres from jazz to Latin to R&B to world music. So, we're pretty thrilled to make a guest appearance with him at his annual birthday concert, for the second year running!

North-of-the-City types, take note: we also have a gig of our own at that venue, on August 30, so we hope to see you twice! We'll reveal more details in our mid-August newsletter, but we are happy to announce that up-and-coming jazz/soul crooner Perry Mast and Portland songwriter Kira Lesley will be making guest appearances. Sharing the stage with talents both veteran and new is one of the greatest joys of being in this business!
